Sunset is at 7:00pm and the moon rises at 10:27pm.

If this needs to be rescheduled it will be on Nov 8th.
I hoping to come out 
I plan to come out.
I will bring my new table top GoTo Dobsonian, if it’s not too windy. And i can help with collimation of dobs/newts if anyone wants help. O.therwise my SE6. I can help with SCTs, AVX mounts, as well.
Weather looks good, so far.
We will be bringing a refractor and tripod.
I should be there. I’ll bring one of my smart scopes. Donno which one.
I plan on coming and I’ll be bringing a 8in and 4in clestron SE models with the mount the comes with.I’ll also have a mead etx 60 “that has some problems”. I’m really new to the hobbie and got very lucky with the telescopes and deals I got but I don’t feel I’m using them to the full potential. I’m looking forward to being there.
We’re looking forward to meeting you and helping you with your new treasures!
Looks like you jumped in with both feet!
Be sure and come while it’s still light. We set up at 6.
My son (Jace) and I will be there. He is new to star gazing and doesn’t have anything to bring yet, but is hoping to get advice and suggestions!
Jess, Welcome! You guys don’t need to bring any equipment to attend. We’ll have several scopes set up and you can look at them. I advise coming to several of our events, look at all the equipment options, ask the astronomers who’ve been doing this for awhile what they’d recommend you get (but be prepared for a different answer from everyone you ask). 
The best way to start is with your eyes and a planisphere (I’ll have one tonight you can see and use) or an astronomy app on your phone, then maybe binoculors, and only after observing for a while and trying out different gear at our events, should you consider spending even more money for a telescope. Too often the first telescope folks buy is not suitable for what they want to do.
Also, check out the internet for lists of what to look for with your eyes, binoculars, or small telescopes. There’s dozens of books you can buy with those lists, but generally you can find the same thing on the internet for free.
Last night turned out to be a great night. The wind wasn’t too bad and temperatures were comfortable. My estimate was 10 club members and almost half were new members. We had at least 7 visitors maybe more that I missed. We helped with using a couple of telescopes that members and guests brought out. One of the telescopes needed a part to make it more usable. This is why we hold these novice nights, someone will have items needed or to try out equipment.
